How does this fit in this thread? Well, Mario is wearing the same skates as Sergei Gonchar.

What are the skates that Mario is wearing and what is the kid wearing?

This is the only pic on getty images, unfortunately, you can't see the skates, but the commentators made note last night in the caps/tampa game that Semin was wearing new skates

He's a vapor guy, so I assum it's the X-60

Also, Ovechkin back to CCM stick last night

Kostitsyn Hitman stick.

Interesting how you see a wide range of Warrior Sticks in the NHL (I understand most companies have two top of the line sticks, but this is clearly portrayed in their catalogue). With Warrior I got the impression the Kronik and Dolo were top of the line, but it seems that the Hitman and AK27 are fairly prominent as well. So is it safe to say they have a strong product throughout their whole line, or are most of these re painted?

not sure of semin's skates, but I saw Backstrom switched to x60s with the normal graphics instead of the 40's graphics.

I would have to say a little bit of both. The Hitman is supposed to be on a level like the Shogun (correct me if I'm wrong) but Warrior's trying to get exposure out for their lower-end sticks.

But, Warrior does have a strong product. I've used Warriors in the past and I've been extremely impressed, although the durability for the most part sucks.

No color accents on the stick??

the most black stick that I can think of, that I have seen at the Hockey Shop, is the new dolomite ( which also has fairly cursive writing)

Lupul using the new Kronik.

Here

and

Here

Timonen's stick tonight also had the new Kronik paint job. Both had been using predominantly Dolos for the past two seasons and the entirety of this season, so like Kostitsyn's stick, I'd guess just a repaint.

[JR Boucicaut 3803]

New Kronik paint been out for a while in the NHL. I've seen a couple of Dolos painted as such...Josh Gratton.

the more I see them, the more I like them better than the last vapor line. They are a sharp looking skate.

sorry to say this, but the old vapor line looked kinda cheap, especially with all that silver, but this new line is great. right now bauer has the best looking skates, classic combined with a high tech look. the other brands should take notes

just a little adjustment there... cause we all know the other guys are looking in on the noise that the x60 is going to make

[SynysterGates 0]

And thats why One95's are the best looking skates in a long time.

[Wolfpack_1986 154]

so, Staal has switched back to XXXX's. Whether these are real XXXX's or if it's a switch to a more broken in pair of x:60's, i'm not sure.

Brind'Amour, who never wore the real XXXX is in x:60's. he was a holdout XXX wearer until maybe a few months ago when he got the fake skates.

[metalwinger13 1]

I noticed Warrior has a new stick out called the Bentley. The thing is a tank.. heavy as hell and pretty damn cheap at $70. im just curious but has warrior stop making the mac daddy or re branded it?

[SynysterGates 0]

Guillaume Latendresse has X:60's as well.

Is it just me or does that display picture seem to have a really weird lie?
